[Zoom] Clothing is Agriculture: Hemp Fiber Production in the Northeast

Part 3 of a 3-part webinar series on sustainable fashion and textiles. There is so much ingenuity built in to fiber technology of the past that sometimes it starts to look like poetry. A far cry from the visuals of polluted rivers and toxic workplaces elicited by the Global Fast Fashion Crisis we find ourselves in today. What kind of Culture are we creating with all we have learned on earth and the resources we have left? Natural Fiber is the seamless technology of a closed-loop future and circular time. In this third and final webinar of the series, fiber artist and farmer Laura Sullivan will share the journey of growing Hemp for fiber on the UVM extension research farm and what it would take to scale and industry in our region.
